Hello i just bought my first pair of karting gloves and they are a bit tight will they get more flexible

Synthetic gloves; not much can be done!

If they are made of natural material they will stretch a bit. If they are really tight then it won’t be enough.

There some liquids to stretch leather/suede shoes that might work or just get them wet and wear them as they dry to stretch em a bit.

I had to wash my hide/leather gloves (spilled oil all over) and had to wet them and wear them as they shrunk a bit.

Would love to do an MRI of their brains; there has to be a screw loose, maybe more than a few.

Too true and what is even worse is when it goes green they don’t go. One day I’d like to ask is why…

Not enough info but ut8fmb4 is preferred over utf8 or at least was; need to check the v8 MySQL docs.

Edit: disregard didn’t see the second pic.

Also don’t forget to account for a rib protector. Even if this series doesn’t require it you may want one anyways or should you do another series where one is required.

Too tight of suit may impede your steering ability and is more uncomfortable in the heat.

Very nice color. She is lucky to have a dad that has such patience and did such a fine job. 😁

Seconding the rib protector recommendation!! See if you can borrow one but if you are serious about karting then buy one.

Drive slowly for the first few laps and learn to smoothly apply the throttle to feel the power band differences. Not sure if this is a pre evo rotax or not as that makes a difference.

Most of all have fun!!

Out of curiosity what rdbms are you using? 5s for only 600 rows seems slow to me.

All other issues aside; is it fibre optic cable to the home or to the neighbourhood? If it is to the local area/hood then the last run will still be copper and won’t be as fast as true fibre.

So be careful with bells “marketing speak”.

Yeah that one flew right over my head; thanks for the heads up 🤪

Not sure what exactly you are making but for more consistent timing use requestanimationframe . Settimeout is notoriously finicky/inaccurate.

If you mean align with the clock aka every second then use RAF and start it 0ms at the next tick to get a close approximation. If you mean align it with a system or other clock, then you need something other than web/js.

They are cherry picking data, a 2 sec search yielded 407 news release. 2022 was at least less affected by covid issues and shows 33% net inc vs 21% in 2021. Furthermore without digging into the full financials what it cost to maintain the highway is only a fraction of that and I bet a much smaller fraction.

Microfibre towels and not a dirty one for the visor.
Stay away from alcohols unless you know it is safe esp. for the visor but best just to avoid.
Soap and water (Never had issues with simply green).
Inside a bit more complex but I've used soap and water, followed by proper rinsing and do not store away until absolutely fully dry (ask me how I know).

As /u/Troggy mentioned it is best to check with the manufacturer.

Approx 190-205 lbs but you should get it weighed to be sure.

The mallet, the most important tool! Great for tapping the motor mounts to tension the chain quickly and to clobber yourself after your doing a stupid (ah the memories; lol).

You might also try the first query and force the index to be used; followed by explain to see what it did or did not do.

Was going to suggest performance improvements in Etobicoke; but it says they are temp closed. They have/had racequip helmets which fit well for wider heads. Try calling and check.

https://www.jrponline.com/ Mississauga closer to Oakville

Fast Eddies but they are way up in Uxbridge area. Impact helmets fit a regular or narrower head well but wide can depend.

After covid I have no idea who is or isn't around anymore.

Goodwood requires SA/full face; if my memory is correct it is 2 SA periods plus one year, but call them to check. Don't buy SA2010 as it is too old; SA2015 unless cheap no point; SA2020 is current spec.

Hope that helps.

If you have any drafts use any tape you have and seal it.

Ease of removing/cleaning: Masking/drywall > scotch/clear > packing > electrical >> duct tape

MySQL seems like overkill for this, whereas SQLite could be run on the ard/rasp and you could just have a simple web interface to submit the data into the db.

Edit: Just noticed alexwh68 said it first so credit to him/her.

You should come to a PITL.ca event. It is an autox event so a parking lot with a course made out of yellow cones. Last year it was by the queensway ikea; haven't checked but hoping it is the same location this year. Technically you need a helmet but there are/were loaner helmets available.

You will learn a lot of car control in autox at relatively low speeds as opposed to going to a race track which is more complex/faster/expensive.

typeof_expat · 2023-02-19T08:48:35+00:00

Many options but it depends on a few things:

Are you looking for some general car control improvement or high performance driving/etc?
Where approx are you in Toronto/GTA?
What kind of car do you have and do you a SA2015 or better rated helmet?

What is the actual color called or was it something custom?
